Liu's face darkened. She closed the empty box, looked around, grabbed a feather duster, and rushed out first.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue quickly grabbed a broom and followed.
"Go to hell! It's you two weasels again, you're up to no good!"
"A lazy, good-for-nothing good who idles around all day!"
"Pooh!"
Jiang Yue was initially worried that her sister-in-law would suffer a loss, but judging from the scene, her sister-in-law had the upper hand.
"Liu, you've gone too far! If we didn't respect you as our sister-in-law, we would have cursed you too!"
"That's right, that's right! Don't be ungrateful, or we'll curse you too!"
The speakers were a middle-aged couple. Jiang Yue looked closely and realized they were the kind of people the original owner of the body particularly loathed.
Her second brother and sister-in-law.
Why do I say I hate it?
On the one hand, the couple were not good to the original owner of this body; they were petty and vindictive.
On the other hand, this couple is really bizarre, always causing trouble. As soon as the original owner got married, they started to meddle in the division of the family.
As a result, the family broke up and the people scattered. Now, judging from the other person's clothes, they don't look like they've made a fortune!
"Mother, should I help my aunt chase them away?"
Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore. Tall and strong, he stood in front of his mother, looking intimidating.
"Jiang Yue, don't even think about coming back to fight me for the land. That was given to our second branch of the family by the old man when he divided the family property!"
"That's right, that's right! Your married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; don't even think about coming back to take back the family fortune! Let me tell you, you have no right to!"
The couple regretted not bringing their son to support them, but they still shamelessly threw a tantrum.
Jiang Yue suspected that if it weren't for the chicken and duck droppings all over the ground, the two of them would probably be rolling around on the ground.
"Jiang Xu, Wang Shi, if you don't want to acknowledge me as your sister, then just cut ties. I'm here today to visit my elder brother and sister-in-law, what business is it of yours?"
Now that things have turned ugly, Jiang Yue has nothing to worry about.
It's not about the quantity of relatives, but their quality.
With my elder brother and sister-in-law, and my own family members around, that's enough!
"Hmph, let it break, I don't care!"
"Remember what you said today. Never come begging at our door again, even if you're poor to death!"
Jiang Xu and his wife both smiled, uttered their harsh words, and then ran away in a flash.
"Hmph, luckily they ran fast, otherwise this feather duster of mine isn't just for show!"
Liu snorted coldly, then, afraid of frightening her little niece, she quickly put away the feather duster.
Jiang Yue liked her sister-in-law's clear-cut love and hate personality; she was just like her!
Haha~
The two women, the aunt and sister-in-law, smiled at each other, and then Liu briefly recounted what had happened in the family over the years.
Just as Jiang Yue had guessed, after their parents died, their eldest and second eldest brothers separated from the family.
The eldest brother was considerate of his younger brother, receiving less than a third of the spoils, with most of the good things left to the second wife's family.
As for the second wife, due to her sister-in-law's selfish and self-serving nature, the couple colluded and gradually drifted apart from the eldest brother's family.
They probably came over after hearing the rumors circulating in the village and came to test Jiang Yue's attitude.
"They don't know how capable you are now, otherwise they wouldn't be acting this way."
Liu said with a wry smile, "The second wife is known for being a snob and a gold digger."
She's been oppressed by the second wife for so many years, and now she's hoping to turn her life around by raising ducks!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's not that they won't be punished, it's just that their time will come."
Jiang Yue put down the broom and comforted her sister-in-law.
The two had barely finished speaking when the elder brother's anxious voice came from outside the courtyard—
"Honey, sis, are you alright?"
Clearly, Jiang Nian ran home so quickly because he had overheard a tip-off.
"My dear husband, you're back! I was so angry just now. Your good second brother and his wife came to cause trouble again. It was so annoying."
When Liu saw her husband return home, she felt resentful, though she suppressed it somewhat, she still expressed it.
Jiang Nian was at his wit's end, but he forced himself to comfort her:
"Hey, don't be angry, the girls are here~"
"Hmph~"
Madam Liu snorted coldly, but she did give up her seat after all, letting the head of the household sit down and talk about serious business with his sister.
"Brother, to make a long story short, let me ask you, how many ducks can you raise on this mountain?"
After watching the commotion for a while, Jiang Yue's expression turned serious, and she began to discuss serious matters.
"There are about a hundred ducks at home, and more than a thousand in the mountains. There are also duck eggs. Some of the ducks have started laying eggs. Girl, if you don't come soon, I'll have to go to your house."
Jiang Nian estimated, feeling very anxious. Feeding so many ducks was no easy task.
Jiang Yue could tell that her elder brother was in a hurry, so she gave the instructions:
"Yaoyao, close the door. Qingshan, bring a stool for your aunt to sit on."
"Okay, Mom~"
"Mmm~"
After everyone sat down, Jiang Yue took out two recipes from her bosom: one was the recipe for roast duck, and the other was the recipe for salted duck eggs.
Jiang Nian took it and began to read it carefully.
Except for a few words he didn't understand, he could understand most of it.
"Brother, you have an oxcart, which makes it convenient to go to town. In the coming days, please set up the ovens as soon as possible. There are craftsmen in this village who can make ovens. Please set up several ovens. As for charcoal and other materials, please take your nephews to make them. If you really can't find any, you can buy them in the village. Don't make things too difficult for your own family."
Then I've written all the ingredients down here. If you don't understand any of the words, just ask me. After you and your sister-in-law memorize this recipe, then burn it.
As for the salted duck eggs, it's even simpler: just order more jars, memorize the secret recipe for getting the oil, and burn it…”
Jiang Yue gave instructions, and then described the appearance of the roast duck to her brother and sister-in-law. She explained how to apply the roasting seasoning and heat control on it. She said that roasting duck was much more troublesome than pickling duck eggs, so she explained it in more detail.
Fortunately, Jiang Nian has a good memory. After being told a few times, he basically remembered everything. He will improve the rest after practicing!
However, Liu was not very fond of roast duck, but was very interested in pickled duck eggs. She wrote down the steps much faster than she wrote down the secret recipe for roast duck.
"Hey girl, can you give me some ideas on pricing the roast duck and duck eggs, and how to sell them?"
Jiang Nian shamelessly pressed the girl for more information.
"Brother, do you know the Guest-like Restaurant in Peach Blossom Town?"
Jiang Yue had already planned everything out; everything was ready except for the final push!
Jiang Nian, breathing rapidly, said excitedly:
"I know, it's huge. Some people in our village have eaten there, it's really expensive."
"The restaurant owner is the son of our village chief, and he has some connections with our family. When the time comes, bring a few roast ducks to negotiate the price. If you're not confident, wait for Qingshan to come along."
Jiang Yue didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke the truth.
With this relationship, there's nothing we need to do.
